IN THIS EPISODE…
In our episode on the documentary, 13th, we focused on our current crisis of mass incarceration in our country. Where does an idea like that come from though? In the documentary, The House I Live In (which you can stream for free right now here, we are taken on the continuing 30+ year war on drugs. Learn how this epidemic has been in place long before the war was even spoken. In this episode, we're discussing our own experiences with addiction, the economic insanity that thrives off prisons, racial stereotyping and more.
